Baby Shower Card

One of my fiance's friends is having a baby and I was invited to the baby shower. I really wanted to make a different card and came across this idea on splitcoaststampers from the member LilLuvsStampin (New Baby and Monkey Moe).

I used Doodlebug Designer paper and Papertray ink white paper. I cut my circle for the carriage out with my Creative Memories Circle Cutter. I used Creative Memories Heart Punch, Stampin Up Scallop Punch for the wheels and scallop scissors for the trim on the carriage. I accented the wheels with baby blue buttons.

The stamp sets I used where Close to My Heart Solo "L", Close to My Heart Beary Much, and Stampin Up All Around Alphabet Lower and Upper Case.

It was fun design to make!

Mother's Day Card

I made my mother this card about a month before Mother's Day. It was a very relaxing task after a stressful day! I really enjoyed the bright colors and the fun flock on the flowers! I love My Favorite Things stamps!

Easter 2009

Wow! I have not made a card in two months! I am so happy to get back into the crafting mode! Today I made two easter cards using my Close to My Heart Stamp Set called Beautiful Spring. I embossed each egg in a different embossing color powder. I cut each egg out and layered them using dimensional dots. My card base is Papertray Ink White and it is layered with Doodlebug Bubblegum cardstock. I used some ribbons I found at Michaels and the Stampin Up Metal Tag. I really enjoyed how these cards turned out and I cannot wait for my mother and future mother-in-law to get them on Easter. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

My Favorite Things Designer Challenge for February 7, 2009

I decided to participate in the My Favorite Things Designer Challenge. I have fallen in love with My Favorite Things stamps. My Secret Sister from the February Swap gave me this stamp called "Call Me" and I love it!!! It reminds me of being a teenager and talking on the phone to all my friends for hours!

The main colors for the challenge were : Pink, Black, White, Grey, Brown
I choose Pink, Black, White and Grey.

I used Black Stazon Ink to stamp the words "Call Me" across the ribbon and the huffing technique which allows me to blend the colors as if everything was real and no outlined image. I also used cotton candy stickles to give it a little bling!
